IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
INTENDED USE FOR THE PROPUR® HOME WHOLE HOUSE WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM:
This
SYSTEM
is designed for
point-of-entry installation for residential use in filtering either municipal or well potable water. To validate the
warranty, installation, use and maintenance of the Propur
HOME
system must conform to specifications,
limitations and instructions stated within this manual. For well water use, we recommend your water be
tested for pH, hardness, iron and bacteria. Iron level >.3 mg/I, may require a water softener system (Propur®
PH-2000) as this could affect the performance of the
SYSTEM
. The use of a Pre-sediment filter and other
equipment may be necessary to address your particular water condition(s), and if necessary, to protect the
SYSTEM.
Propur® offers a City Water Test Kit and Well Water Test Kit for checking water. Visit your authorized
Propur® dealer or
www.propurusa.com.
WARNING
1. Do
NOT
use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before the system
2. Do
NOT
install the system or adjacent filter housing(s) near electrical wiring or piping which may be in
the path when securing
SYSTEM
to a wall
3. Do
NOT
install
SYSTEM
on its side or in direct sunlight
4.
SYSTEM
should be installed in a dry location protected from the elements including freezing
5.
Should the home electrical system require the use of the cold water system as an electrical safety
ground, a jumper
MUST
be used to ensure a sufficient ground connection across the filter system
installation.
6. Pressure
MUST
be released in the ElectroCharged™ Sub-micron filter assembly prior to removing the
filter sump
CAUTION
1.
Be careful not to over-tighten any connections to avoid damage or cracks to connections which
could result in damage and or leaks
2.
Use only approved thread sealant such as Teflon tape or Teflon paste when making connections.
When using paste thread sealant, label must state suitable for use with PVC and NSF approved.
Some sealant pastes may contain solvents which can soften threads resulting in damaged fittings
and leakage
3.
If an irrigation/sprinkler system is present upstream of the system, a one-way check value
MUST
be
installed to protect your
SYSTEM
4.
Installation such as apartment dwelling may require a vacuum breaker valve
5.
For well water installation, install
SYSTEM
after pressure tank
6.
For city water installation, install
SYSTEM
after meter
7.
In areas of known high sediment (such as New York), a Pre-sediment filter assembly is recommended
8.
ElectroCharged™ Sub-micron filter assembly requires 3” of space below sump in order to replace
filter
9. DO
NOT
install where ambient temperature may go above 110°F (43.3°C)
10. DO
NOT
install without a pressure limiting valve should the water pressure exceed 100 psi (690kPa).
11. DO
NOT
install on the hot water supply line
12.
Fuel or electrical power supply going to water heater may need to be shut off during installation
after water supply is shut off
13.
To avoid risk of property damage due to water leakage or to replace tanks or filter cartridge, a
bypass line with ball valves
MUST
be installed as shown in Assembly Diagram
14.
The
SYSTEM
MUST
be flushed/purged before being connected to the main plumbing. This helps
prevent media fines from discharging into the home plumbing and water appliances. Follow
instructions (
16
) under GETTING STARTED
IMPORTANT NOTES
1.
Before starting installation, shut off main water supply, drain pipes and release pressure as necessary
2.
Check for leaks after completing installation
3.
Failure to follow instruction manual will void warranty
